New suspect head 'em up arrested in connection to 2019 killing Thomas Frey Staff writer El Dorado County sheriff ’s deputies arrested 40-year-old Justin Kremer Thursday after following up on new evidence regarding the 2019 death of Pleasant Valley woman Heather Gumina-Waters. Kremer, who has a South Lake Tahoe Justin Kremer address, is suspected of being an accessory in Gumina-Waters’ disappearance and alleged murder, according to sheriff ’s officials. His bail has been set at $395,000 on the felony accessory charge. Gumina-Waters’ husband Anthony Gumina was arrested in September 2019 and subsequently charged with five felonies, including murder in the first degree; he is currently awaiting trial. No further details have been released regarding Kremer’s involvement. Heather Gumina-Waters was reported missing by her family July 19, 2019. For nearly two months volunteers, friends and family searched for the 33-year-old mother of three. Sheriff ’s investigators say her vehicle was found somewhere in El Dorado County Aug. 9, 2019, although its exact location was not disclosed. Authorities initially arrested Anthony Gumina “on an outstanding, no-bail warrant for domestic

Crowds line the street to greet the Highway 50 Association Wagon Train as it arrives in downtown Placerville Saturday afternoon on its 72nd trek over the Sierra. The Wagon Train’s journey began in Meyers June 6, covering about 50 miles by horseback and horse-drawn wagon.

Placerville delivers balanced budget Andrew Vonderschmitt Staff writer Placerville’s Assistant City Manager and Finance Director Dave Warren presented a balanced 2021-22 operating and capital improvement program budget for future adoption at last week’s City Council meeting “This budget does actually restore some of the losses we had during the depths of the pandemic,” said Warren at the outset

of the presentation. He also teased to some other good news in the budget. “We started out with a status-quo budget. What I mean by that is we looked at the budget from a year ago when we were fully open,” he said, further explaining that it was assumed the city would be back to normal — for the most part. Warren reminded the council that a budget is a living document that requires adjustment throughout the year as things change and needs present. Placerville ranked No. 25 in per capita sales tax out of 539 municipalities. The General Fund budget will see an increase in medical insurance cost at 10% and a minimum wage increase at 7.14%. There will also be an increase in pension contributions of $156,011. The new budget allows the city to reclassify n

With some state restrictions lifted Tuesday and more people getting back to work and other activities, El Dorado Transit will continue to comply with the federal mask mandate for public transportation, requiring passengers and staff to wear masks on board transit buses and vans.

In addition, El Dorado Transit has offered special services including free rides to get to and from a scheduled COVID-19 vaccine appointment and free grocery deliveries. As vaccines become

El Dorado Transit joined the American Public Transportation Association’s Health and Safety Commitments Program, the public transportation industry’s overarching pledge to passengers that public transit systems are taking all necessary measures to operate safely as the nation recovers from the COVID19 pandemic.

Simultaneously a search warrant was carried out in Pleasant Valley and that’s when Gumina-Waters’ remains were found. The District Attorney’s 2019 criminal complaint filed against Anthony Gumina alleged that Heather Gumina-Waters was murdered because she “was a witness to a crime and was intentionally killed to prevent her from testifying in criminal proceedings.”

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.

WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL Having wisdom teeth removed seems almost to be a rite of passage, but it is not always necessary. For some people, this third set of molars arrives in the back of the mouth healthy and with plenty of space to grow. However, wisdom teeth sometimes do not have enough room to grow properly, which can cause crowding which pushes the other teeth out of place. For some patients, the third molars grow in crooked, which can lead to cysts, tumors, and gum disease. In most cases, a dental visit will expose any potential problems with the development of wisdom teeth and they can be removed before they cause any issues or symptoms.

Whether it involves wisdom teeth, implants, cosmetic work, simple fillings, or complex restorations, any program we suggest for your dental health will be thoroughly discussed with you before we begin. When you are looking for state-of-the-art, personalized dentistry from people who really care, welcome to our office. Our dental team works smoothly and efficiently together, devoted to making your dental experience comfortable as well as enhancing. Call us for an appointment. P.S. Wisdom teeth are usually removed in a patient’s late teens because the tooth roots have not fully formed and they are easier to extract.

Dr. Little provides quality family and cosmetic dentistry. His office is located at 344 Placerville Dr., Suite 19, Placerville.

Budget

due to the pandemic shutting down not only revenues but also expenditures last year. The total operating budget for 2021-22 is proposed at $25,086,801, a 7.78% increase from the previous year with expenditures at $21,180,689, leaving a total surplus of $3,906,112 before capital pmprovement program expenditures. Warren reported on eight completed CIP projects from 2020-21 and handed off the presentation to City Engineer Rebecca Neves, Community Development Director Pierre Rivas and Director of Public Works Nick Stone, who detailed their areas of the proposed capital improvement project budget. Neves took the lion’s share of the CIP presentation to describe a multitude of street, water main, sewer and other projects on the docket for attention in 202021. The total proposed Capital Improvement Plan budget comes in at $3,905,553. Warren updated the council on the status of American Rescue Plan Act funds. Originally it was

some positions, allowing some employees to take on more responsibilities. Three positions in the Engineering Department are being replaced, which includes hiring an assistant city engineer, adding an ultimate cost of $21,088 to the budget. The reclassification of Dave Warren as assistant city manager/finance director would cost an additional $14,603. Debt services are all part of the budget process and the city will be paying off debts that add up to $2,728,394, covering payments to the sewer upgrade, a California Energy Commissions loan for lighting and HVAC systems and various equipment leases. The General Fund budget looks more like pre-pandemic budgets with expected revenues at $9,732,836 and expenditures at $9,446,276, leaving a surplus of $286,560. Other budget requests — capital outlay, training and reclassifications total $234,774, leaving a surplus, if these requests are honored, of $51,786. Expenditures are up across the board to the tune of $864,150. Warren explained this is mainly

expected that Placerville would get $2.1 million from this plan. Now, however, word has come down from National League of Cities that Placerville will receive $2.6 million. Warren offered no explanation for the increase but explained the cash flow would come a little slower than expected. The estimated payout will be 50% this June and 50% in 2022. These funds will be restricted to specific uses such as public health impacts, investments in housing and neighborhoods, recovery of lost revenue and premium pay for essential workers. Some guidelines staff and council will use when administering these funds include limiting use to one-time purposes, providing long-term investment to the community and directly benefiting city residents and businesses. Department heads have created a wish list for uses for these funds and will plan a special meeting in the future to address these items. The final 120-page budget will return to City Council June 22 for final approval.

California Matters

Can California shut down its failed projects?

e human beings hate to admit failure. Even though our brains may know when some endeavor has failed, our emotions and our egos may drive us to continue trying to make it work. Indeed, the syndrome DAN WALTERS has developed its own linguistic phrases, such as “throwing good money after bad,” or “sunk costs,” or “cutting our losses.” Private businesses are usually — but not always — willing to shut down or sell off ventures that don’t pan out. Ford Motor Co. famously jettisoned the Edsel, a car named after the beloved son of founder Henry Ford, when the car failed to attract enough buyers. But the Boeing Co. stuck with an elongated version of its 737 jetliner even after two crashed and killed 346 people, and is still trying to make it acceptable. Government officials are generally less willing to admit failure, perhaps because, unlike business executives, they have no personal financial stakes in outcomes. Their guiding, albeit informal, rule is that launching new programs enhances one’s standing while shutting down those that fail just angers their stakeholders. California’s recent The fate of history is replete with examples of programs Calbright, an and projects that online community deserved merciful deaths college, will but have continued to soak up billions of reveal whether dollars in taxpayer California is money. willing to shut The woebegone bullet train project is the most down failing spectacular. Voters were programs and promised a statewide projects. network of high-speed trains when they passed a $9.95 billion bond issue in 2008. Thirteen years later we have only a few concrete structures in the Fresno area — no track, no trains and no certain date when even a relatively short segment will be operative despite the many billions of dollars spent, or wasted, so far. It would take a book — a thick book — to fully describe all of the state government’s highly touted, very expensive digital information projects that have failed to deliver the promised benefits. While it lacks the scale of the bullet train and the failed information technology projects, Calbright may fall into the same category. It’s former Gov. Jerry Brown’s pet project — an online community college that would offer highquality, low-cost instruction to help working Californians upgrade their job skills. Tens of millions of dollars have been sunk into

Letters to the Editor Let local officials decide

Language

EDITOR:

EDITOR: anguage is the use of words to convey information. It can also be used to confuse, conceal and distort. Few people would take the words of a politician at face value, particularly those of the other party. We recognize that some words are used as code with the intent to conceal or confuse such as “family values” or “gun safety.” The 2020 word of the year is “systemic.” Just as children, when they learn a new word, now people use “systematic” as often as they can without fully understanding what it really means. Politicians and the media jumped on “systemic.” They just love to talk about “systemic racism” and how we must eliminate it. But what does it really mean? The dictionary definition of “systemic” is: “Of, relating to, or common to a system, or … to the body as a whole.” If a problem is “systemic,” that means it is so embedded that it can only be corrected by replacing the system. So what is the system to be replaced? While most of the focus has been on the police, it is clear that it does not stop there, but is directed at all of society, which they proclaim to be “systemically racist.” It does not take a stroke of genius to recognize that the system to be replaced is our capitalist, democratic republic. In the 1920s and 1930s, many well-meaning, idealistic, loyal Americans joined the Communist Party. When the reality of Stalin’s purges leaked out, most bailed. (That did not keep them from being destroyed by the McCarthy witch hunt.) Likewise, I think many, if not most, of the followers and even local leaders for Black Lives Matter are similarly mislead. There is no question that discrimination exists and that we have a long way to go before we will have a truly integrated society — where there is no discrimination for or against anyone based on race, gender, color, ethnicity or anything else. A race war will not get us there. COLTON MEYER Somerset

e are now more than 15 months into the COVID-19 pandemic and are very optimistic as a county and state we are finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Over the past 15 months there have been continuously changing COVID guidelines and protocols for K-12 education, both national and at the state level. While we understand the reasons, the guidelines and protocols that school districts have been expected to follow have been both confusing and unaligned between the agencies mandating action, specifically CDC, CDE, CDPH and OSHA. The confusion and lack of clarity has caused vast inconsistencies in implementation of the everchanging COVID requirements within education, as well as frustration for all stakeholders — teachers, staff, administrators, students, parents and community members. More importantly, it has created many undue challenges for local districts to effectively support our students, both academically and emotionally. Throughout the pandemic the Placerville Union School District worked closely, and in concert with, local public health officials in developing re-entry plans that followed guidelines and supported a safe return of staff and our students to our schools. Our district has been at the forefront of returning students and staff to our school sets in a safe and organized manner and out sucks is well-documented. At this stage in the pandemic, as elected officials, it is our responsibility to take the lead in making decisions that are best for our local communities and ensure a safe return to school in the fall. We believe that local school district and county officials have a more accurate assessment of the local challenges and needs than any statewide agency; therefore, it is time for the state to let local officials and school boards make these decisions.

Understanding the big city plan in a rural community

ecently, the Revolutionary Communist Party USA held a protest in Los Angeles against the local county sheriff ’s office. The political party is claiming that Sheriff Villanueva and his officers are ‘treating homeless TODD people like garbage and terrorizing Black and Brown people.” They further claim that law enforcement officers and military personnel are the enforcers of an oppressive, capitalistic society. Their recent march/protest in LA was held to “show the world we are getting organized now for real world revolution to overthrow the whole system these pigs enforce.” For those living in small communities, like El Dorado County, it may be difficult to accept that these political attitudes are taking hold or gaining in popularity. Unfortunately, these attitudes, rooted in communism and totalitarianism are not only gaining in popularity,

Defunding the police and undermining American society is not a distant reality that only exists in urban areas, but rather a very real threat to our livelihood, personal safety and ongoing prosperity. but in influence as well. These attitudes are gaining their foothold through hundreds of revolutionary clubs, predominantly located WHITE in public college campuses all over our nation. These clubs are taking advantage of youth wanting to make a lasting difference in society and a delusional higher education system that largely supports crumbling the institutions that help secure people’s safety. The political forces seeking to undermine the police and military are targeting the nation’s biggest cities, where the issues of homelessness and poverty persist at the highest rates. They’re capitalizing on people’s fears and frustrations. This is clearly seen with what the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Office is doing in regards to helping

alleviate the area’s homelessness crisis. Recently, the LASO went to areas such as Echo Park and Venice Beach to assist the growing homeless population receive medical and transitional housing resources. They were criticized by local activists as displacing homeless people and using the event as a publicity stunt. On June 9 the LA County Democrat Party further perpetuated this anti-law enforcement narrative by calling on Sheriff Villanueva to resign because of his insistence of following and enforcing the rule of law. A spokesman for the LASO responded, “Violent crime rates have nearly doubled, yet for some strange reason the radical left activist crowd has decided defunding the police is a good move. The LACDP calling for the sheriff ’s resignation is part of this radical agenda, evidence they have been hijacked by the far left, and a distraction. The sheriff will continue

to remain focused on public safety, creating solutions and serving our communities.” Although communities like El Dorado County have seen an increase in crime and homelessness in recent years, we generally have lived in a bubble that has not had to experience the entire brunt of bad political policy. Our community largely supports our local law enforcement; this support has created a trusting and safe community. We cannot take this for granted and expect it to remain in place in the future. We must look at those seeking to undermine law enforcement straight in the face and accept them at their word. Defunding the police and undermining American society is not a distant reality that only exists in urban areas, but rather a very real threat to our livelihood,

Calbright over the past few years but it’s actually provided instruction only to a few dozen students — at an enormous per-student cost, of course. Last month, State Auditor Elaine Howle catalogued Calbright’s failures, declaring that “A primary reason … is that its former executive team failed to develop and execute effective strategies for launching the college.” If Calbright doesn’t shape up by next year, Howle told the Legislature, it should be axed. Five days before Howle issued her report, the state Assembly voted unanimously for legislation that “makes the California Online Community College Act inoperative at the end of the 2022-23 academic year.” To be fair, the legislation, Assembly Bill 1432, does not merely reflect an unwillingness to continue a project that has fallen short of its lofty goals. The bill is sponsored by the union that represents faculty at the state’s 115 local community colleges and it opposed Calbright from the onset, fearing that it would undermine the existing system. However, Calbright’s obvious shortcomings made it vulnerable to a political death sentence. The fight over its fate now shifts to the state Senate, or perhaps will be decided when legislative leaders and Gov. Gavin Newsom negotiate a final 2021-22

budget deal behind closed doors this month. If Calbright is jettisoned, perhaps it would mark a new willingness to stop throwing good money after bad. Now how about that bullet train to nowhere? Dan Walters is a journalist and author who writes for CALmatters.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

personal safety and ongoing prosperity. There is no guarantee that we or our children will live in peace and freedom. Americans must not look at people through the lens of political parties, but of shared ideals. The ideals that will successfully move us forward as a prosperous nation are individual responsibility, security of our institutions and the reality that we receive our rights from God and not from an overarching centralized government. If we as a people refuse to enter the debate of words and ideas, our society and even our local community may be ruled by ideas that were once considered radical and on the fringe of the political spectrum.

Countywide education transportation drivers celebrated Dina Gentry EDCOE

he El Dorado County Schools Transportation Council recently partnered with the El Dorado County Office of Education to host the Driver Appreciation Parade to demonstrate how much value school transportation teams contribute to education in El Dorado County. On the EDCOE main campus in Placerville, cars lined up under a balloon arch, were greeted with festively painted signs and El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ed Manansala. “It was such a wonderful evening that highlighted our drivers and their commitment,” Manansala said. “This is a group of unsung heroes who work extremely hard to bring our students safely to school. Thank you for your efforts!” Paul Bracco, EDCOE director of Transportation, helped to organize the event. “What a great opportunity for every district in the county to come together and show their appreciation for their drivers,” he said. “It was great to see all of the drivers who participated in the drive-thru parade. It was wonderful to see the support of the superintendents and other staff members as well.” After entering the parade, attendees visited booths hosted by EDCOE, various school districts and first responders. Vehicles were also given tritip or Baja chicken salad meals to take home and enjoy. Everything was performed

Thank you so much for creating this event to honor all drivers.” Teams that hosted the event and individual booths were challenged with unexpected

winds and rain sprinkles, but they did not give up as drivers needed to see how crucial they are. “As a new superintendent in El Dorado County, I was very pleased to see an event solely dedicated to honoring the bus drivers in our county,” said Keri Phillips, superintendent of Gold Trail Union School District. “Their skills safely managing our students on our curvy, icy, often dangerous roads is more than commendable. “They are in short supply and we should honor their

commitment and their patience with our precious cargo,” Phillips continued. “If not for them, many of our students would struggle to attend school daily. I appreciate the county honoring them and I am already looking forward to the event next year. Thank you EDCOE for hosting this event and thank you drivers who continue to make us proud.” EDCOE transports students throughout the school year and during summer school.

Cyclist coming through county during charity ride Greg Padgett ShelterBox USA

esse Pine has been training since March to prepare for the bike ride of his life. Beginning June 20 he will embark on a 3,800-mile, 65-day bike ride to raise awareness for ShelterBox, an international charity aimed at providing shelter and supplies to families and people displaced by disasters and conflict around the world. The Ride for Shelter event will kick off in Nevada and take him through California (spending the first night in El Dorado Hills), Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, the Yukon Territory of Canada and end in Alaska as Pine hopes to raise $100,000 in support of the

ShelterBox mission. The 3,800-mile bike ride is longer than traveling from Key West, Fla., to Seattle. ShelterBox has supported hundreds of people affeted bydisasters and conflicts, including the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Syria, the 2010 Haiti

Earthquake, the 2004 Boxing Day Indian Ocean Tsunami and impacts from two hurricanes in Honduras in 2020. “We are helping displaced people recover from all types of events and what Jesse is doing to support ShelterBox will make a

big difference in how we can respond to future disasters and crisis,” said ShelterBox USA President Kerri Murray. ShelterBox recently surpassed providing support to 2 million people since its start in 2000. “More and more people are becoming displaced around the

Grow for it! Dahlia planting and care

ahlias can add a bit of pizzazz to your garden. Flowers come in many different forms, sizes and colors. Dahlias can be grown in the ground or in containers. Dahlia Anne Bettencourt blooms range in size UCCE Master Gardener of from a few inches to El Dorado County dinner plate size, which is 10 or more inches in diameter. The American Dahlia Society has a detailed classification system that classifies plants based on bloom form, size and color. Dahlias are perennials. If properly cared for, dahlias will add color to your garden for many years. Dahlias can be grown from tubers, cuttings or seeds. Most home gardeners grow dahlias from tubers. The best time to plant tubers is mid-April through May. Tubers need well-draining soil because soil that stays too wet can cause the tuber to rot. Bone meal or a balanced granular fertilizer can be added to the soil. The eye of the dahlia develops on the crown area of the tuber. Be careful not to break off the crown because a tuber without an eye will not develop. Plant tubers horizontally in holes that are 4 to 6 inches deep. A gopher cage might be needed at planting. Water the area lightly and remember too much watering causes the tuber rot. Dahlias need adequate sun to produce blooms. Six hours of sun is recommended. Morning sun and afternoon shade is best for dahlias in our area.

Dahlias add beauty to gardens and the flowers come in a variety of colors and sizes. Too much shade will produce few blooms and too much sun will burn the plant, preventing blooms from maturing. Stake plants to keep them from toppling over. Stakes should be at least 6 inches from the plant stalk in order to prevent impaling the tuber. It is best to wrap the tie around the dahlia stalk and stake in a figure eight. Dahlias need help to produce side limbs. Dahlias produce pairs of leaves on the stalk. After the plant has produced three or four pairs of leaves, pinch or cut the center shoot just above the last pair of leaves. This process encourages branching, which will ultimately produce more flowers. Dahlias tend to grow fast. During the summer keep your dahlias hydrated but not saturated. Flower production is dependent upon proper watering. Dahlias can be fertilized every three to four weeks during the growing period. Use a fertilizer low in nitrogen to promote strong stems

and larger blooms. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage more flowers. Inspect dahlia plants every few days to help control pests. Most common pests are slugs and snails, earwigs, aphids, thrips and spider mites. Trim dead and damaged leaves and keep the area around the plant free of debris. Horticulture oils, Neem oil and insecticidal soaps can be used for large infestations. Fungal disease like powdery mildew can affect dahlias. Horticulture oils and Neem oil can be used to control this. Add a little pizzazz to your garden with a dahlia. and remember, dahlias are like shoes — you can never have too many!

Mountain Democrat staff The 2021 Junior Livestock Show & Auction takes place at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville, June 18-20.

The auction begins at 4 p.m. Saturday, June 19. For a complete schedule visit eldoradocountyfair. org/livestock.html. Union Mine Future Farmers of America member Abbigayle O’Neill shared with the Mountain Democrat her experience raising farm animals. The 17-year-old Union Mine High School student has been in FFA for three years and was previously in 4-H for four years. She raised her first steer this year, a black Angus cross-breed named Diesel, which will go on the auction block Saturday. “He is fun to work with and we enjoy each other’s company,” Abbigayle said. “We have spent about three hours with each other every day exercising, grooming and playing since October. He gets endless amounts of head scratches and all the snuggling he wants. He is a beautiful steer with a big appetite and a well-balanced healthy diet.” Being in FFA, and 4-H before that, Abbigayle said she has developed a strong work ethic. That determination will be on display this weekend, along with her very handsome steer.

WSFF presents summer films, preps for next festival News release Wild & Scenic Film Festival has announced “Currents of Hope” has been chosen as the theme for its 20th anniversary. The theme speaks to momentum toward a brighter future. Coming out of what has been a challenging year for all, festival organizers are eager to return to an in-person festival and feel optimistic about the growing groundswell of the environmental movement. In aligning with this theme, organizers envision a hopefulness grounded in real and measurable action, constantly moving everyone forward like the mighty rivers that are the lifeblood of this planet. 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, a bedrock environmental law governing water quality in the United States. As Wild & Scenic reflects on its own milestone with 20 years of inspiring activism, organizers are excited to tap

into their roots as an event that benefits the local watershed. “Currents of Hope” celebrates a vision of a healthy, thriving planet regenerated by the unstoppable flow of compassionate communities who share in this dream. Wild & Scenic Film Festival is accepting film submissions through Aug. 24 for the event taking place Jan. 13-17, 2022.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: July 7, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 8 at 295 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

trip, Pine has been training weekly on nearby terrain in his home state of Colorado. His goal has been to bike at least 90 miles per week and surpass 2,500 feet in elevation to prepare for the conditions he will encounter during the two-month long bike ride. “I will be biking through mountainous and coastal terrain and gaining as much as 4,500 feet in a single day and some days will travel up to 95 miles, but on average about 70 miles per day,” said Pine. “I know a lot of people will be sponsoring and cheering for me along the route.” ShelterBox is the official Project

Partner of Rotary International and Pine will be supported by Rotary Clubs that will be raising donations and sponsoring events as he travels through their communities. “We are excited that there are many Rotarians in Northern California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska that we will be able to promote and encourage support for Jesse,” said Bill Tobin, ShelterBox USA’s Rotary relations manager and an EDH Rotarian. Visit the Ride for Shelter page at shelterboxusa.org to donate and learn more about the event.

Solutions to puzzles in Classified section of newspaper.

horoscope by Holiday Mathis n today ARIES (March 21-April 19). While it’s possible that a self-sacrificing act will help a relationship, it benefits you to consider the opposite tactic as well. You’ll be surprised at the improvements that come from answering the question, “What’s in it for me?” TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Ultimately, the mother of frustration is desire. Team an expectation with a time frame and suddenly the climate is perfect for desire. There are at least two immediate solutions. Let go of the desire or lengthen the time frame. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The duality of the twins will fascinate others. You’ll be many things at once. Exhilarated yet patient; hopeful yet reasonable. You’ll have trepidation and still move forward in boldness, ready for what comes. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Thinking a thing through can happen in a flash. Carrying it out takes much longer than you anticipate, though, especially in light of the complexity of your current endeavor. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have the grit that will propel you forward, regardless of obstacles. And while you would prefer to reach your destination as soon as possible, the important thing is not how long it takes but that you do it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The golden rule will extend like a blanket of karma over your whole scene. Everything counts. Stay on the safe side. Spare feelings. Spare spiders! Practice the compassion of catch and release.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The group participation route isn’t always your favorite, but your current endeavor really does require a team effort. When one person is tired and ready to give up, another will be ready to help. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are, in fact, in the process of change. You happen to be so deep in it that it would be impossible to see what’s happening, and you don’t need to. That’s a job for future you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are well aware of how everyone likes a good storyteller and that bad ones are tolerated to varying degrees. You’ll make sure you’re interesting to talk to, which is partly about brevity and partly just reading the room. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your heart defies logic like that’s it’s job. For instance, the bigger your heart gets, the less worried you are about breaking it. Love seems to provide its own kind of protection. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your ego likes to think it’s the source of your strength and therefore it beats its chest in a display of dominance when its position is challenged. The truth is real strength has nothing to do with posturing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t assume that being happy is better than being other emotional tones. The best feeling is the one that’s coming up, no matter what it is. Fully feeling is fully processing, and eventually, this leads to peace.
